It runs perfectly on Linux and I’m having a great time with it. I’ve only played a couple of extraction shooters before (Call of Duty DMZ, The Circle) and they were generally very hostile, this game is definitely much more reasonable.
Actually my biggest issue is probably The Arc as opposed to the other players, the AI is super aggressive and will chase you down, if you survive it can be quite exciting, but sometimes it feels really cheap, especially when a Rocketeer blasts you in the first 5 minutes.
I’ve been hooked on ARC raiders since it launched. I’ve done all the quests, I’ve done all upgrade, I’ve done the expedition prep (to the point it can be done), I’ve finished the raider deck. The only things left to do are the trials but even when I’ve more or less cleared the weekly trials I’m still playing the game. It’s just so compelling.
The ARCs demand respect. They’re so dangerous sometimes the best option is to not even fight them. That is especially true for bigger ARCs because you have to prepare to fight them. Whenever one of the bigger ARCs notice me and I’m not prepared to fight them I’m booking it into the first closed space I can get because if you don’t break line of sight you’re going to have a bad day. So my advice is avoid avoid avoid until you’ve come prepared to take one down. Once you get more comfortable with fighting ARC other players become far more dangerous than ARC.
100% one of my favorites of all time. Newer Mario Kart iterations never quite hit that same vein of fun, though I could never figure out why. Probably something to do with it being a formative part of my childhood?
Also, my best racer was always Bowser: slow acceleration, but could make everyone spin out at a glancing blow was my way of winning 😂
I think Mario Kart 64 is honestly just very foundational of a Mario Kart. Besides the controls being iffy, it really just plays well, has solid all around courses, music, and a nice selection of characters. Plus it’s where we see a lot of the modern powerups i think
This is why i like the FF7 remakes because they’re more than just retreading the same steps and story. At face value they are but if you have played the original you’ll soon notice that there’s something going on with the story that kind of makes it more of a sequel, rather than a “remake”.
The naughty dog kind are the worst in my opinion. A waste of time, money and talent. If you’re going to remake a game now, I want something that makes it worth playing whilst not replacing the original. The only way I think I’d be mostly okay with a remake replacing an original is if they’re remaking a shit game to make it good, but they never do that.

They remade Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. So it has happened once. Kinda. They just forgot to make it good. It’s still just as bad.
To each their own, but I’m perfectly happy with romhacks and emulation for that. I like the original pixel art/animation, hacks can get me orchestral sound tracks, bug fixes, and rebalancing.
Yeah, it’s neat. At the very least it behaves like a normal modern window. Original d2 has big problems with a monopolitic behavior over your screen estate while being 4:3.
Another counterpoint is Nier, where gameplay became more smooth and story additions made it worth another whole run. Character designs changed, that expectedly caused some drama, but having almost-unheard of prequel of Automata being there accessible to new audiences with new lore for old souls to is a win-win situation. Rare games made me not question preorder or first day purchase.
20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.
After dropping my computer not having wifi for a week, an adapter was finally delivered over the weekend and I got to 100 invasion kills in Sniper Elite 5! I recorded most of the clips since I wanted to see the final stats, my spreadsheet is almost done.
It also unlocked the ghillie suit, but I’ll be playing less frequently since I have a damn game to make.
I’m not 100% sure yet. I think I want to make a beginner kaizo hack… But mainly just learning the tool right now and will see if I’m inspired to do something after
Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.
Something inside you is not being satisfied by gaming, and you need to listen to that voice. It doesn’t mean you won’t ever enjoy games again, but it also means you need to find that fulfillment in order to enjoy them again.
I recommend figuring out what the last thing you did was that you really felt free from outside thought and were focused on, or what left you feeling satisfied with your own efforts. Was it an art project? Something you cooked? A hike you went on?
Your brain is screaming at you to make something of your experiences, to have a sense of growth and proceeding forward towards a goal. It doesn’t have to be career or studying either, we’re not wired to feel fulfilled from answering the phone for 8 hours a day, nor are we wired to feel fulfilled extracting virtual loot, at least not long-term, we’re wired to feel fulfilled creating things with our hands or moving our body.
I stopped enjoying games, so I started making games. Totally new experience, feels completely different and after getting past some initial hurdles of feeling overwhelmed, it’s now addicting. I have no idea if I’ll ever launch a real, finished game, but there’s incredible satisfaction in making your first hallway that you can run and jump through, it feels far different than buying and downloading even the most expensive commercial game release. I’ve played a thousand hallways and crates and jumping, but that first one I made myself beats them all. And now I have new appreciation for some indie game that some person made, I feel a connection and it makes games more enjoyable.
I used to draw a lot back then. My loss of interest for games gradually made me go back to drawing and I am fine with it, it is nearly a decade I have not drawn until I decided to work on something yesterday on a paper. Did my first dedicated drawing yesterday and I am planning to do more in the next weeks 🙂.
I still play games sometimes though (warframe, minecraft, worldox) but again just for a few minutes and rarely an hour or more.
That’s awesome, one day someone who can draw pictures with their hands will be seen like an ancient fucking wizard, do not abandon the Old Ways! Also, I highly recommend joining an art club, a forum or discord/chat group for art, whatever the genre is, social connection while being creative is a driving force that can open entire new avenues in your life :)
I have this feeling about niche, hardcore survival experiences and social games that have slow-burn like Project Zomboid or SCUM. It’s really hard to find someone who doesn’t just want instant satisfaction and action and wants to get lost in a world and enjoy the process instead of the objective.
Maybe it’s just the type of games you play that you’ve lost interest in. Steam has lots of demos for games from just about every gaming genre, so maybe try out demos for highly rated games of genres you don’t normally play. You may end up surprising yourself. Maybe you do like cosy games, or real time strategy, or management simulations, etc, but because you’ve never tried them, you never realized that you like them.
